I.e., is there a way to ask the URN->URL service: "What URNs do you resolve and what are their URLs?" Are there any privacy issues here? Resolution services as with any other service should be able and allowed to determine whether or not they will answer whatever queries to whomever they choose. Each one (or communities of them) will have their own security and other access (for example fee structure) policies that they manage by a variety of mechanisms. I would not agree with a position that said that all resolution services must be willing to make public all their information, or provide service to all customers equally in any other way. Karen
